Sun Prairie Mobile Food Pantry - NEW SERVICE

In August 2003, Second Harvest rolled out the Mobile Pantry Program. In partnership with a member agency, food from the Second Harvest warehouse is trucked to a neighborhood site at a prescheduled time for immediate distribution to residents. The program provides additional food to those in need and gives Second Harvest a valuable channel to increase distribution of perishable food items to ensure that good food will not go to waste.

Mobile Food Pantry Schedule

The next Mobile Pantry pick up date is August 26 (Tuesday) from 5 PM to 6 PM. at the Sunshine Place location -- 18 Rickel Road in Sun Prairie.
